Evidence

User: Berzon was blocked[1] for posting links to a web site he owns and operates and has a commercial interest. (He has claimed this isn't his web site[2], but a "who is" shows the site registered to him.) He also authored the link he posts most often. He primarily posts to Kenneth Fisher against whom he appears to have a personal grievance based on his edits, which is fine but Wikipedia is probably not the best medium to sort that out.

May be using sock puppets to continued adding links to his web site and make other edits that appear to be about a personal grievance. These sock puppets only post to Kenneth L. Fisher and The Only Three Questions That Count with generally the same links.

These postings all contain links to Berzon's web site OdessaPage.

User: Berzon[3][4][5][6] [7]

User: 207.171.195.28[8][9][10][11][12] [13]

These edits are identical for User: 207.171.195.28[14] and User: 67.101.103.125[15]

Similar justification for inclusion of links by [User: Berzon] [16] [17] [18], User: 207.171.195.28[19], and User: 74.127.101.213[20]

Further, User: 74.127.101.213 [21] seems to be making justification not for edits they made, but for edits made by User: 207.171.195.28[22]

And here are similar edits re: CXO rankings by User: Berzon [23] and User: 74.127.101.213[24]

User: Berzon may be using annonymous IP addresses to make edits he was previously blocked for, for using Wikipedia to promote his own web site and an article he wrote as a product review. Netsumdisc (talk) 01:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Almost certainly linked. There's no block evasion, though, as the original block was only for a short period of time. Report to WP:AIV if necessary. _GB^T/C 09:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
